As
this year’s EuroTier trade show saw record-breaking attendance, the Lallemand
Animal Nutrition team was pleased to present its range of proven yeast and
bacteria based solutions to an international audience.

“Our visitors expressed particularly strong interest in our latest innovations
YANG and MELOFEED, but also in the well-established and proven solutions such
as the probiotic yeasts LEVUCELL SC and LEVUCELL SB or the organic selenium
source ALKOSEL, that have been successfully established on the German market
for years and that are now directly marketed in Germany since June 2016“,
stated Dr Christian Scheidemann, Country Business Manager Germany.

“EuroTier 2016 was a very successful exhibition for us. We are pleased with the
strong interest in our specific solutions. It was also a great opportunity to
present to our customers not only our latest innovations but also our new and
fast-expanding team for Germany, a key market for our company,”
commented Emmanuel Tabert, Commercial Director at Lallemand Animal Nutrition.

Under the motto “fermentation is our passion”, Lallemand Animal Nutrition was
pleased to welcome partners and customers to the booth for a German-French
happy hour on Thursday, 17 November.

About 150 guests accepted the invitation and rounded off a successful day at
the trade fair with tasty fermented drinks (French wine and German beer) and
country-specific finger food snacks.

YANG (Yeast Association New Generation) is an innovation born of Lallemand
research.

It is a synergistic alliance of different strains of inactivated yeasts
(including Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Cyberlindnera jadinii) that supports
animals during stressful and challenging conditions such as weaning, feed transitions,
and sanitary challenges.

YANG can be used in most feed production processes MELOFEED is a natural highly
concentrated source of the primary antioxidant Superoxide Dismutase (SOD). The
product is gained from freeze-dried melon juice and is marketed for animal
nutrition purposes exclusively by Lallemand.

Applied separately or in combination with other antioxidants like ALKOSEL,
MELOFEED supports the antioxidative status of the animals and significantly
increases their immune defence. Not only, but especially in stress situations
like the peripartum phase, in times of heat stress or after weaning.

EuroTier is organised by DLG and has been held every two years since 1996 in
Hannover. The DLG was pleased with the again increased numbers of visitors and
exhibitors: With 2,629 exhibitors and 163,000 visitors (thereof 36 000 from
more than 100 foreign countries) EuroTier is regarded as the world’s leading
event for the animal production industry.

The assembly is then hydraulically elevated and tipped, causing the discharge
hood spout to seat against a gasketed receiving ring installed on any receiving
vessel or process equipment.

Opening of a pneumatically actuated slide gate valve at the spout outlet allows
controlled, dust-free discharge, while closing it allows partially empty boxes
and containers to be returned to the plant floor.

The unit accommodates boxes and other containers from 915 to 1220 mm on a side,
and 990 to 1117 mm overall height. Constructed of stainless steel finished to
food, pharmaceutical or industrial standards, the unit is engineered to perform
with fail-safe reliability under constant use in demanding environments.

It is also available constructed of carbon steel, and offered with optional
receiving hoppers configured with the company's mechanical or pneumatic
conveyors to transport discharged material to any plant location.

solutions for grid stability
To tackle these energy challenges, National Grid and EirGrid have developed a
broad suite of solutions called Demand Side Response (DSR). These strategies
allow load to be generated or removed from the Grid in order to to stabilise
grid frequency. This adds stability to the system and reduces the need for coal
and gas fired reserves to be ready to supply power at short notice.

They re-balance the grid

1. Grid balance
When generation and demand of energy are not in balance it causes a change of
Frequency in the grid system.

2. Grid operators
National Grid, Eirgrid, & SONI have statutory responsibilities to the safe
operation of the electricity grid which should operate between 49.5 and 50.5
Hertz.

3. Renewables challenges
Due to the intermittent nature of wind generation coupled with peaks in demand,
grid stability in real-time presents a major challenge. Most renewable
generators are not interfaced with the grid through synchronous machines,
therefore are unable to contribute towards inertial response.

4. The grid relies on us
When not at a balanced 50 Hertz, the Grid relies upon Endeco Technologies. By
utilising customer assets we automatically control to respond and contribute to
rebalancing the grid and avoiding scenarios such as electricity blackouts.

Dr Glenn Ferriol, Nutriad Manager for Philippines, Indonesia & Malaysia,
presented the application of ADIMIX® Precision in swine operations, focusing on
its benefits on digestion and gut health in pigs as an alternative to
Antibiotic Growth Promoters.

Commented Ferriol: “Recent data on the impact of Adimix® Precision on PED
(Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea) showed the additional benefits of using Adimix® as
a performance enhancer for grower/finisher pigs.”

Stated Dr Ferriol: “It is very important to screen and identify the raw
materials to be able to identify the level of mycotoxin contamination in the
raw material and avoid its entry into the farm/feedmill. This can be done using
a fast and reliable tool without the need of a complicated laboratory set up.
Also the storage of raw material needs to be secured to prevent the increase of
mycotoxin levels. That is where the importance of a reliable mold inhibitor
like Mold-Nil® comes in.”

Nutriad recently launched MYCOMAN® (application available without cost through
Apple (IOS) Store / Google (Android) Play Store), a mycotoxin management tool
developed to help the farmers and nutritionists identify the best mycotoxin
deactivator and the right dose needed.

The complete range of Nutriad Mycotoxin Management and Digestive Performance,
as well as the technical services/support are now available in Medan through

Evonik Industries AG of Germany and METabolic EXplorer
(METEX) of France have agreed that Evonik will acquire a technology package
from METEX to strengthen its biotechnology platform for amino acids, following
an agreement signed today in Paris.

• Evonik will take over a
technology package from METabolic EXplorer (METEX)

• The acquisition will
strengthen the Evonik biotechnology platform for amino acids

• The move will also enhance
the ability of METEX to commercialize other technologies that it has developed
as alternatives to chemical processes

• Further opportunities for
cooperation are being explored Essen/Clermont-Ferrand.

The package includes METEX’s entire technology portfolio for the fermentative
production of methionine, as well as patents, essential bacteria strains, and
the inoLa™ brand.

METEX considers that this agreement will underscore the relevance of METEX’s
alternative technologies and will strengthen its ability to commercialize its
other technologies.

The transaction also includes a back license agreement pertaining to certain
patents to be transferred to Evonik; this agreement will allow METEX to
continue using these patents for activities other than those relating to
methionine.

Furthermore, the companies intend to explore the possibility of a research and
development cooperation agreement on the development of biotechnologically
produced amino acids.

The total consideration for the transfer of this technology, including a
two-year transfer service agreement, amounts to 45 million euros. Amino acids
produced by fermentation are an important pillar of Evonik’s product portfolio
for sustainable animal nutrition.

Production process efficiency for Biolys® (lysine), ThreAMINO® (threonine) and
TrypAMINO® (tryptophane) has been continuously improved over the past few
years, and the portfolio was recently expanded to include ValAMINO® (valine).

“Through its fermentative methionine production process, METEX has demonstrated
excellent development work and was able to secure wide-ranging patent
protection,” says Dr. Emmanuel Auer, head of Evonik’s Animal Nutrition Business
Line.

“The acquisition of this technology will expand our technological leadership
for amino acids produced both chemically and by fermentation,” he explains.

“We have been able to show that the fermentation process for manufacturing
methionine is a potential alternative to familiar manufacturing routes. For all
of the company’s stakeholders, this is a validation of our technical
leadership. Proceeds from the sale will accelerate our ability to further
develop and market our other technologies, such as PDO, MPG, or new high-value-added
molecules,” says Benjamin Gonzalez, CEO of METEX.

“The technology will be transferred to Evonik immediately after the required
approval of Evonik committees. This is expected before mid-December 2016.”

According to Mr. Auer, “METEX has many years of experience in the field of
strain development and fermentation technology. We believe the potential exists
to develop viable process optimization methods for products manufactured using
biotechnology—in animal nutrition and beyond. This acquisition will complement
and broaden Evonik’s technology portfolio for important innovation fields.”

As Mr. Gonzalez sees it, “Amino acids are clearly high-value-added products,
and we are confident that our expertise will deliver new competitive solutions
beyond methionine. Improving processes for key natural products for animal feed
is one of our top priorities. We look forward to the possibility of a
constructive R&D partnership with Evonik to that effect.”

Founded in 1999 and headquartered in the French town of Clermont-Ferrand,
METabolic EXplorer is an industrial biochemistry company specializing in the
development of biotechnology production processes for bio-based substances used
in a wide variety of everyday products such as textile fibers and feed
additives.

In the future, METEX will sharpen its focus on developing environmentally safe
production processes for the consumer goods industry, thus catering to
consumers’ expectations of sustainable production processes.

With more than 60 years of experience in the production of essential amino
acids, Evonik offers solutions for efficient and sustainable animal nutrition
to customers in more than a hundred countries around the world.

By extending its product range beyond amino acids to include innovative feed
additives, Evonik plans to contribute even further to the efficiency of animal
feed and to create additional value for its customers.

Evonik products and services in the area of animal nutrition play a key role
globally in healthy and affordable feed production that conserves natural
resources and reduces the carbon footprint.

Unibio
(“Unibio” or “the Group”), a biotech company with the most advanced technology
producing single cell protein from natural gas, is pleased to announce the
successful opening of its first production facility based in the municipality
of Kalundborg in Denmark, marking a significant milestone in the company’s
development.

The opening which took place on Monday 21st November was attended by
dignitaries including: Lars Chr. Lilleholt, the Minister for Energy, Utilities
and Climate, Martin Damm, the Mayor of Kalundborg with Karen Hækkerup, CEO of
the Danish Agriculture & Food Council as keynote speaker and opened by HRH
Prince Joachim of Denmark.

Commenting at the opening, Henrik Busch-Larsen, CEO of Unibio, said: “The
crucial advantage of UniProtein® is that the technology is scalable and
environmentally friendly compared with fishmeal and soy protein.”

“We can produce natural protein in a plant using methane gas, and therefore the
production of UniProtein® is not limited by fishing quotas or the use of
pesticides, and it is weather-independent. Unibio’s technology thus provides
animal feed producers access to a sustainable protein source of very high
quality.”

Speaking to an audience of more than 130
participants Henrik Busch-Larsen concluded his speech:

“Today is not the finishing line but we have come a long way from where we
began. The road has not been straight; we have crossed mountains and valleys
and even tropical islands.”

“However, our belief and optimism are intact, and we now own the most
up-to-date technology in the field of bacterial fermentation, the most novel
technology used to convert methane into protein, and we have a strong
cooperation with the Technical University of Denmark (DTU)”.

Karen Hækkerup, CEO of the Danish Agriculture & Food Council, said:

“Unibio’s production plant is just one example of how we can produce nutritious
and sustainable feed by combining modern technology and biological processes.
In the Danish farming and food industry we are already among the most efficient
in the world when it comes to using resources economically and sparing the
environment. For several years we have worked on finding alternatives to soy
which we import today. I hope that Unibio can contribute to replacing soy in
the long term.”

In his speech at the opening ceremony H.R.H. Prince Joachim said:

“Like farming, science and research form an important part of our Danish
identity. We can be proud of the knowledge which every day contributes to
making Denmark a stronger, richer and better place to live. As a result the
traditional farming industry must face the future hand in hand with science and
technology.”

Tore Duvold, Vice President at Innovation Fund Denmark, commented:

“When two years ago Innovation Fund Denmark began to support the development of
the sustainable Danish production of UniProtein®, the support involved high
risk and many unknown factors. Since then a lot has happened. Unibio is now
ready to upscale the production of UniProtein® by using a method that requires
very little water and no pesticides, and is based on renewable energy. It holds
great potential.”

Production Engineers or confirming their attendance of the course.

In his entertaining address, Daniel Müller emphasised the high significance of
training and continuing education.

He expressed his admiration for the students’ decision to go back to school:
“By making this far-reaching decision, you took up a challenge that you have
now successfully met. Today, you have reached the top. With the knowledge you
have acquired and your great commitment, you now have the right instruments
available to satisfy the rigorous requirements of safe and economical animal
feed production.”

He said that the goal was on the one hand to meet consumers’ needs for hygienic
feeds that are safe for humans and animals alike.

On the other hand, he said that companies were increasingly facing the
challenge of producing and marketing feeds more efficiently and especially more
responsibly while meeting legal regulations and directives.
Swiss student receives best in class

THE GLOBAL MILLER

News on flour and animal feed milling, rice milling, oilseed crushing, grain storage and transportation are reported by The Global Miller which is an online offshoot of 'Milling and Grain' magazine. While the monthly magazine covers milling technology issues in-depth, the Global Miller provides a round-up of day-to-day industry developments.

Our editorial team has a keen eye for the most interesting, relevant and (let’s face it) bizarre milling stories from across the world. Each weekday we find and report on the industry's top-notch news stories and package them for your perusal in one neat, easy to read service.

For in-depth stories and technical updates on the milling industry - and now in SIX languages - English, French, Spanish, Chinese, Turkish and Arabic - go to our www.millingandgrain.com website.

Total Pageviews - Currently running at between 30,000-50,000/month! We are astounded. Thank you.
